NEW * SCHOOL * OF * POTTERY

The Ross-Huyghe School of Pottery opened on Monday, September 26,
in the rear of 4480 West 10th Avenue. It has 2,000 sq. feet of space
with large windows facing east and west. There is the main space for
wheels, a glaze room, damp room, an area for clay-making, and a
coffee-room. A 16 cu.ft. Alpine gas-fired kiln, which survived the
hazards of the road trip from Los Angeles, is now being installed.

The school has three instructors: Hilda K. Ross, Avery Huyghe, and
Barbara Baanders who trained in Germany. There are eight classes a
week, all filled to capacity for the current course.

ROBERT WEGHSTEEN ESTABLISHES WORKSHOP NEAR LANGLEY

After travels through Europe on a Canadian Council award, Robert
has returned to B.C, and has bought an old chicken and strawberry
farm. The land, approximately 12 acres, 4 miles east of Langley,
included a small house and two large chicken houses. Robert has
expanded the house by building on a new section and has converted

one of the chicken houses (60 ft. x 40 ft.) iato a workshop. He was
obliged to remove a 3 foot layer of chicken manure before the concrete
floor could be paved! Three phase power and natural gas is available
on the property. A small electric kiln has already been hooked up and
plans are underway to build a large gas kiln. Robert expects to divide
his time between large scale architectural projects and pottery. He
is specially interested in slipware. Future plans envisage the con-
struction of a new house overlooking Salmon river which runs through
a wooded section of the property. Wherever possible, the Weghsteen
family will attempt to live off the land.
